Eli Collins commented on HBASE-6067:
------------------------------------
It points to a the hbase directory on a viewfs mount (the URI is
viewfs://cluster2/hbase).
Per HADOOP-8422 I think we should backport the new methods to branch-1 and
modify HBase here to use them. This means the next HBase release with this
patch would require Hadoop 1.1 or later. This might be reasonable given that
Hadoop 1.1 is the first 1.x release that will support HBase out of the box,
obviously would like the HBase guys input on this before proceeding.
> HBase won't start when hbase.rootdir uses ViewFileSystem

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: regionserver
> Reporter: Eli Collins
>
> HBase currently doesn't work with HDFS federation (hbase.rootdir with a
> client that uses viewfs) because HLog#init uses
> FileSystem#getDefaultBlockSize and getDefaultReplication. These throw an
> exception because there is no default filesystem in a viewfs client so
> there's no way to determine a default block size or replication factor. They
> could use the versions of these methods that take a path, however these were
> introduced in HADOOP-8014 and are not yet available in Hadoop 1.x.
